2010 hasn't been quite as it was expected for boxing fans, namely, the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao never got arranged. Still, there have been some great battles, and there is a lot more on the schedule as well. While BoxingEquipment247.com hasn't been too active lately covering boxing news, I wanted to take a minute to go over some of the biggest remaining fights on the schedule, in the order of importance or interest that I have in seeing them. For full betting odds and all of that good info, you can visit any number of good sports betting sites. In the meantime though, I'll try to show you who's the favorite for each match. You can also visit the ESPN Boxing Schedule for their full lineup of upcoming boxing matches.
Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rafael Marquez: This is as much of a pick-em fight as there could be in boxing, and it's an extremely intriguing contest between a young, hard punching dynamo, and a technical, efficient, all-action warrior. Either man could end up winning this fight, but Marquez may be a bit too worn down following his encounters with Israel Vazquez.
Andre Ward vs. Andre Dirrell: This is a match of two great, young American fighters, and former Olympic teammates and medalists. Ward is the current favorite to win the Super Six, and as such, he'll be favorited to beat Dirrell. Ward is a more complete and mentally strong fighter, with more tricks up his sleeve.
Carl Froch vs. Arthur Abraham: In another exciting Super Six match, two of the hardest punchers and toughest guys in the upper weight divisions go at it in a pivotal clash, where each man needs a big win to really keep his hopes alive for winning the tournament. Froch is more aggressive and wild, but Abraham arguably hits better, and definitely has the better defense.
Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito: I'm not too excited to see Margarito get such a high profile, big money fight after his recent hand wrapping scandal, but this is still an intriguing match where Pound for Pound kingpin Manny Pacquiao has to face yet another much bigger, much stronger fighter. Pacquiao's speed and aggressiveness should overwhelm Margarito, however.
Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Michael Katsidis: Marquez is still the champion at 135 lbs, and he's coming off a second victory over Juan Diaz. Still, there have been whispers that Marquez is past his due date, and he could be ripe for the picking. With the aggression, sheer will and fire power of Katsidis, he's a great opponent to test that theory. I do, however, expect Marquez to prevail with his great timing and counter punching, and his warrior's mentality.
